The FHA is the Federal Housing Administration, which is a federal agency in the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - if your financial transaction is an FHA-insured loan, it means it is backed by them. The lending company provides all the money in the loan; the FHA simply secures the transaction with mortgage insurance in case the borrower does not pay off his or her loan. Available to all consumers, FHA loan programs are designed to assist credit-worthy low-income and moderate-income families who do not meet requirements for conventional loans. The rates on FHA loans are generally market rates, while down payment requirements are lower than for conventional loans. Consumers with lesser income or less starting capital to put down on a mortgage benefit the most from FHA loan programs. |
